Joseph Vonlanthen is a former racing driver from Switzerland. He participated in one formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix, on 17 August 1975, driving a Williams. He retired with engine failure, scoring no championship points. Vonlanthen started in Formula Vee, before progressing to Formula 3, where he won the Swiss formula 3 championship. He found things a little more challenging in Formula 2 but managed to secure a seat with Frank Williams for the non-championship Swiss Grand Prix in 1975, where he finished 14th. He also made a World Championship start in the Austrian Grand Prix. Vonlanthen can be considered lucky to have started this race, as he was only allowed to begin when Wilson Fittipaldi suffered an injury in practice which prevented him from taking his place on the grid. He returned to Formula 2 before retiring from the sport's higher levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Vonlanthen
